Down the reloading rabbit hole

[DMW1116]

The crimp cutter is still more of a certainty in fully removing the crimps. However the batch of full power loads only 2/90 that needed additional attention and doing those 90 took 1/10 the time of cutting the crimps out, to say nothing of the cramped fingers. Primer seating was equally smooth for both methods.

Received the swager..........cycled a few cases. Didn't see in the instructions if lube was recommended.

Also, I did apply some Lee sizing lube to the swaging mandrel. I didn’t really notice a difference but it’s probably a good idea anyway.
